Continuing hunting for this caching issue that is destroying my mind body and soul or write the saturday newsletter?
reply
So it's not confirmed that vercel/next.js#51823 is causing this as mentioned in the ticket?
reply
I'm pretty sure that's not the issue at this point. Let's say we're running deployment id A, when we load pages, the path requested for SSR data will look like .../A/...json. All the appropriate cache headers are set, e.g. no-store, no-cache.
When we deploy deployment id B, the browser/pwa (unless its a fresh navigation or reload) continues to request .../A/...json on navigations. Even though .../A/...json doesn't actually exist, ie its a 404 if visited directly, the service worker returns an empty response with status 200 ... so effectively all the data is stale.
You can recreate locally by building production builds and manually altering the deployment id between builds.
What's weird is that the service worker doesn't appear to be serving the empty responses from its cache (at least it doesn't say that it is) ... so where are they coming from? Again, visiting the path directly results in a 404 so nextjs isn't sending the 200s.
It has to either come from the service worker or the browser's cache but neither of them should be storing it.
reply
I'm pretty sure I've ruled out the service worker returning stale responses under normal circumstances because if I manually call fetch('.../A/...json') with default options in the browser console, then the service worker reports 404.
So it maybe nextjs calling fetch with weird options that's causing the issue.
reply
Looks like it is nextjs. It's calling fetch with a X-Nextjs-Data: 1 header. If I remove the header, it 404's like it should.
reply
If you run this in the browser console while on https://stacker.news it'll return 200 for an arbitrary data request.
const headers = new Headers() headers.append('X-Nextjs-Data', '1') fetch('https://stacker.news/_next/data/this_doesnt_exist.json', { headers }).then(console.log)
reply
If I remove the middleware it works as expected and 404s.
I guess I should report this a bug to nextjs.

All this software between us and our users almost makes me believe I want to be a hardware engineer, not a software engineer, lol
I see, must be related to how their client side navigation works since only during client side navigation, these /_next/data/ routes are called, I think.

I need more writing tools that allow me to remove I from my writing. Writing with humility seems to require underscoring fallibility in the point of viewer.
"seems|feels [like]" can do some mileage but there has to be a bunch of other stuff out there.
reply
I know what you're saying -- reading text full of "I" can be off-putting -- but something to consider is whether you're thinking about it at the right level of abstraction.
  • You could try to reduce the 'I' by literally crafting the text so that it doesn't contain it, so there's like a textual reduction of first-person-ness
  • You could try to write from a more general / universalist perspective, de-coupling whatever you're saying from personal contextual issues that don't matter
In my experience, a lot of people confuse #2, which is often worth doing, with #1 which is kind of dishonest -- you're still just as present in whatever you're writing about, you're just hiding it.
reply
This is nice framing. I find myself doing (1) more than (2). (2) can feel dishonest sometimes too. Like, who am I to speak for the universe? You can end up stretching the cone of your perspective wider than you deserve to.
personal contextual issues that don't matter
This is so tough but fair. The easiest stuff to write is personal.
reply
Buried in there is another generally unspoken thing: the contextual issues that don't matter are devilishly hard to identify. Sometimes the fact that it's your story is why people care, at all, about the story.
So now there's a dialectic between these assorted desires: to subsume the I, to tell the truth, to give of yourself. It's hard to know the right thing to do.

No we sure don’t but the pod is growing year over year at this point. I imagine it will be very “successful” in its third year, usually when podcasts “break out.”
We use transistor to track accurate metric podcasting data, (anchor and spotify inflate numbers about 1000%) and so we average between 150-200 downloads every episode. With our YouTube views we have about 250-300 views/downloads every episode last year around this time we were at about 65 views/downloads total.
I actually would love to support fountain with sats in some capacity in the future. Right now we really just do it for the Stackers and SN community, both myself and keyan have day jobs so this is more a labor of love. We also think it’s very important to see what people voting with their sats think is the most important bitcoin news of the week.

Wow, thanks, great insights! A friend of mine in university actually had the idea to start a podcast where we just talk about life in our university. So it would be a podcast targeted at fellow students at the same university.
We never followed up on this idea though. Interesting to hear that it takes 3 years for podcasts to "break out" :)

🤣 I actually made a joke yesterday on SNL that I don’t talk about it at all, but the fact that people keep coming up to me lately telling me they like it is astounding.
I have this “theory” in bitcoin the less you talk about the things you do the more attention you get for it.

Speaking of bitcoin conferences, I'm listening to Snowden at Pacific Bitcoin right now. He just said: Gary Gensler is not Daddy Bitcoin. I don't care what he thinks about bitcoin, and I don't think you should care either.
I love that quote.

Gensler is ''Daddy want to make a big career in DC. on the Dem ticket''. He's a cuck.

Why bitcoiners go to bitcoin conferences? Nowadays we have an inflation of bitcoin conferences. I mean a real bitcoiner will hear and see the same thing that he already knows about Bitcoin.
I think these conferences should be more populated by nocoiners, pre-coiners, noobs etc. For me personally, I would not waste my money to go to.
I would prefer local meetups and workshops than fancy conferences that in the end do not say anything new, and on top of that, will bring meaningless shitcoiners and companies that only want to shill their shity product that is not even related to bitcoin, they just pretend to be.
Yes, on the backstage, many other workshops are happening, but why we can't have real public workshops that could bring more merchants to know about all these bitcoin solutions, real use cases how to use bitcoin FOR FUCKING PAYMENTS, not "asset speculation" and crap like that?
reply
The essence of these events, in my view, should indeed shift towards educating those who are not yet part of the Bitcoin community.
reply

same, but I don't like conferences in general, mostly a waste of time, I rather meet Bitcoiners privately.
reply
I have been going to more Pub Key events, which are sometimes like mini bitcoin conferences. I have never gone to a big one. I must admit that I'm tempted. If I go it will be more to meet and talk to other bitcoiners than for the speakers.
reply
This is why I want to go I been to a few meet ups around me but they end up dying
reply
I know we all want to protect our identities, but I would really like to have the opportunity to talk to a lot of you guys in person.
reply
Yea I go back and forth about this privacy identity stuff. But then the idea of privacy is to selectively reveal yourself as you wish to the world plus knowing how I am I’ll end up Doxing myself sooner or later

Me too. Using an alternate identity doesn't come naturally for me.
